My glamour days are over, And it's time to face the fact. Those erstwhile raven tresses now Are far more grey than black. Today I saw two children Looking for a conker tree. One said, "Let's ask that old man over there." And he meant ME! The birds pretend they're crazy for The smooth grey locks of age. Don't kid yourself! If something younger shows - They'll flit the cage! I'd often had this fancy That in some way I'd be spared, And by a miracle of fate I'd always stay dark haired. Tough action must be taken Or my pulling days are past. I'll have to 'hit the bottle', And - I'll have to hit it FAST! |
